For the serious collector there are two Box Sets of Flanders & Swann material; THE COMPLETE FLANDERS & SWANN (1991) and HAT-TRICK: FLANDERS & SWANN COLLECTOR'S EDITION (2007). Between them they reissue all the material released in the vinyl era plus many private and off-air recordings. There are many CD derivates from these box sets for those who only want samplers and highlights. Unless issued by HMV or EMI they are likely to be home-made efforts by companies attempting to clean up their scratchy LPs. All the EMI CDs are derived from the original Master Tapes, and are to be recommended.
